Android Studio Finally Reaches Stable Release Status

After months of hard work, the Android team has announced the first stable build of the Integrated Development (IDE) built on the IntelliJ IDEA (Community Edition) Java IDE. Android Studio 1.0 is finally available to download for all major platforms. As such, Android app developers will undoubtedly be very pleased.

The first release candidate was released just a few weeks ago. The IDE will be distributed just like Google Chrome, meaning that those of you who want the latest features will be able to use the Canary channel. More stable builds can be found in Dev and Beta channels, while the Stable contains carefully tested builds.

Android Studio has lots of features that may be useful for experienced developers, as well as beginners. Upon first launch, a built-in setup wizard guides you through all the settings needed to start the project properly. Android Studio is packed with tons of developer tools like advance code completion, code analysis, and the performance analysis. It’s a powerful tool that has a big chance to become the primary IDE for most Android developers. It’s worth mentioning that this IDE will work on all popular operating systems like Windows, Apple OS X and GNU/Linux.

The release of a stable build means now’s finally a good chance to get rid of your beta build if you’ve been experiencing any bugs. It’s also a great chance to try this product if you haven’t worked on it before. You can find more details by reading this blog entry. The IDE itself can be found on Android Developer page.
